ABOUT US

Border Perspective serves families on the U.S./Mexico border. We equip leaders, advocate for biblical justice and mobilize the church into action.

Border Perspective provides educational border trips and uses gallery-like exhibits, written stories, and artist talks to challenge beliefs and understanding about a complex and tumultuous region of our country.

Border Perspective started as an exploration trip along the U.S./Mexico border, showcasing real stories of the people who live there. In early 2017, Yonathan and Jordan Moya took a 9-day photographic journey along the border, traversing almost 2,000 miles through the southern states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.

The Moya brothers have lived most of their adult lives in the Midwest, but they grew up on the border. Yet, despite their upbringing, they realized they didn't know everything about life on the border.

The purpose of their initial trip was to gain and share a fuller perspective on what life on the border is really like. They had no agenda—only to document life on the border and learn by listening to the perspectives of the people who live there. As they took part in different dialogues, they embraced a fuller understanding of the place they still call “home.”

Border Perspective serves as the mobilization and equipping arm of Iglesia Misionera Cristo Vive, an immigrant church ministering and serving marginalized communities on the U.S./Mexico border.

Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is authoritative and infallible in the original writings.

We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of God the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that faith in our Lord Jesus Christ is essential for the salvation of lost and sinful man.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

We believe in the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and eternal life.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Jesus Christ.

Border Perspective helps transform the immigration conversation and influence people of faith to make informed decisions about how to handle the complex political environment surrounding the border and the perception of immigrants living among us.
